| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Within a few months of purchasing the new 2004 pt, the engine began to idle very rough. before, i could sit at a red light in drive and never feel the car vibrate. now anytime i start the engine or am driving down the road it vibrates and runs very rough. the engine light would also come on and i was able to get the computer code p0303 from the odometer (using the key on/run, off trick). p0303 is a misfire in cylinder number 3. i have taken it to the dealer 6 times now and i still have the same problem!!! it still runs very rough but the engine light does not come on anymore. they keep telling now they cannot do anything if the engine light does not come on. but it still runs very rough! sometimes the light flashes when i start the engine. the dealer has blamed/replaced everything from bad gas, spark plugs, cables and now they want to replace the motor mounts! i researched nhtsa and found there is already a tsb on this exact problem and apparently many other owners have the exact same problem. this is based on multiple internet forums on the pt cruiser. people as do i love the car i but this problem must be fixed. *jb |
